I am curious if the Thread lift would work to tighten the skin on my stomach after years of bad lipo?

suziejaneNov 30, 2018
I had a mini tummy tuck with lipo 20 years ago, I don't think I should have had the lipo at all. regardless it was overdone and left me lumpy and with loose skin. I have tried doing a upper lift but that fell. Ive done several lasers to try and even it and tighten skin. no difference. Ive seen some people have done Threads to pull the skin online. Do you think this would be a good option for me? If so, what type of Threads?

Yes, filling it with a filler is usually quite successful.  Another approach can be to attempt to dislodge it from the skin with a cannula.

In general, threads should have a slimming effect on the face by pulling up the skin and creating a more V shape to the face.  They add a small amount of volume, but patients generally do not look volumized from it.  Perhaps the technique or position of the threads is incorrect.
